Figure 7.

The top part of the figure shows grand averaged waveforms for electrode position P8 and a focus on the auditory stimuli (while faces were still depicted), for which significant effects were observed. Different conditions are displayed in different colors (green: congruent stimuli following placebo/sham stimulation; blue: incongruent stimuli following placebo/sham stimulation; yellow: congruent stimuli following inhibitory TBS; red: incongruent stimuli following inhibitory TBS). The N170 peak is highlighted by a box. The lower part of the figure illustrates the statistical finding of a reduction of N170 amplitudes (μV) from congruent to incongruent trials only after placebo stimulation (left side; please note that the N170 is a negative potential, so more positive values represent reduced amplitudes). The panel on the right illustrates the significant difference (* p < 0.05) between placebo and verum stimulation for the resulting difference measure (N170 amplitude for incongruent minus congruent trials). Error bars indicate the standard error (SE).
